[Peace-discuss] Gareth Porter on Nisman murder

[David Green]

The proprietor of antiwar.com holds libertarian views about the economy with which I don't agree. He also over-estimates the influence of the Israel Lobby over USFP. Nevertheless, his basic mistrust of the ends and means of USFP are accurate. To that end, the website links to authors not necessarily identified with the libertarian perspective. Gareth Porter is one of those, with a long history of good investigative journalism going all the way back to Vietnam, which is in the top 3 of crimes of the past century.  DG

 Pretty suspicious I'd say...

Randolph Bourne was a progressive antiwar radical writer.  He was.crazy enough to oppose the Great War.  Wilson opposed the war when it suited him, but Bourne really opposed it and wrote stuff that gave othet folks a bad feeling about the war.  Bourne died from Spanish flu about a month after the armistice .

Wikipaedia sez:
"The Randolph Bourne Institute seeks to honor his memory by promoting a non-interventionist foreign policy for the United States as the best way of fostering a peaceful, more prosperous world. It publishes the website Antiwar.com."

There's all sorts of antiwar stuff on that website, and worst of all, they really and truly believe that the usa ought to have a non-arrogant foreign policy.

Very suspicious indeed.
